Wow! I cannot.

Here I am still debating with myself whether to go to spend 2D1N in Port Dickson next week with a hotel room rate of RM350 and y’all splashing out 26k overseas. This is my B40 life.

Raises some valid issues but bit of holy predator logic here though

Imagine you save RM5k every month and till year end you got RM60k saved for the year but in between you've spend RM20k on oversea trips and luxury purchases, how to hit the million ringgit retirement target then?

To save up 5K it's more or less given said person is drawing a nice salary or paying himself one from his business

Year end bonus and or dividend should be able to cater for this one time luxury. Besides do ppl who have such a mindset of putting away substantial amount in savings really splurge year in year out.

From young till old, consistent saving still epf less than 100k.
You work at McD whole life issit ? Withdraw epf issit? Saved all your  money in savings account issit ?

Was complacent, too naive and influence by wrong advices, made wrong decision to decline sg offer, stayed too long in cinamang smes.

Now unker too late only know that there is no guarantee. EPF or not the only thing certain is that inflation + MYR will laosai long term.

I think 5k is easy for single especially when you are older.

30's, 5k is quite easy.

40's, 10k would be easy

50's, 15k shouldn't be much of a problem cause you've already at your peak.
Would be much harder if you are talking about having a wife who doesn't work or earning very much less and you need to feed multiple mouths.

If single by 40s and 50s maybe its fine to yolo abit. Keep so much for who ?

Many Malaysian talk about retiring with millions in the bank.

When ask about how much they can save a month, a lot says around RM2k to 5k, which is a respectable amount.

However, their so call saving doesn't factor in those large 1 off purchase like oversea trip per year or the latest gadget, which could easily eat up quite a portion of the savings.

Imagine you save RM5k every month and till year end you got RM60k saved for the year but in between you've spend RM20k on oversea trips and luxury purchases, how to hit the million ringgit retirement target then?
